Thanks Scott. The player is actually just a music player and it is off-screen, so maybe I will be able to move it into an invisible sub-stack. And yes, I can confirm that the issue definitely still exists in Rev 4.5.0-dp-1 at least under Windows XP. This app that I am working on cannot be released for Windows in it's current state. It may be only cosmetic, but it looks very bad.
